RhoA difference: difference between the RhoA endpoint value and the basal level. FT3 difference: difference between the FT3 endpoint value and the basal level. FT4 difference: difference between the FT4 endpoint value and basal level. TSH difference: difference between the TSH endpoint value and basal level. Statistically significant results are in bold.
